Stylus Pro 4000 ColorBurst RIP Image Clipping Update
This document provides instructions and how to correct image length clipping issues from Stylus Pro 4000
ColorBurst Rip when printing on sheet paper.
Macintosh OS X Instructions
1. Download the updated version of the ColorBurst Rip Server version 3.8.2 from Epson’s web site.
The file name is epson11321 and can be downloaded from www.epson.com.
2. Install the ColorBurst Rip Server update and the PPD file. For instructions please refer to the
What’s Changed.PDF file that is included with the ColorBurst 3.8.2 updater.
3. Once the updates have been installed setup your print jobs as normal from your applications.
Select ColorBurst as your printer driver. Select the page size that you want to print on. This can
be a predefined page size or a custom page size.
4. Launch the ColorBurst Rip on the server computer. Once the ColorBurst Rip window is up and
running, select your environment for the media that you are using. Click on the Printer Settings
button.
5. Under Printer Controls select Print from Sheet for your media source. Check Use Page
Settings and input the page width and height values in the Paper Size box. These settings must
match the settings you selected from your application under Page Setup.
For example, if you selected Letter Size from your application, enter 8.5” for the width and 11” for
the heigth.
For Image Offset select Auto Center to center the image. Click on OK to finish.
Note: With the Auto Center option selection, if your image size is larger then the actual printable area
supported by the printer hardware some clipping may still occur in the image length, approximately
1/16 of an inch. The printer always has a fixed bottom margin of .56 inches. If you are printing an
8x10 image on an 8.5x11 page auto centering will clip part of the image lengthwise in order to center
the image top to bottom. To avoid clipping the image you must select Manual Position under Image
Offset and also uncheck auto centering option under your application and set the margins manually.
You may have to set the top margin in your application to .25” to get the full 8x10 image to print.
6. Now you are ready to send the job from your application or drag and drop into the hot folder.
PC Windows XP/2000 Instructions

following changes have to be made.
1. Setup your print jobs as normal from your applications. Select ColorBurst as your printer driver.

running go to Options menu then select Printer Options.

Subject: Roll Media Borderless Printing
1. BORDERLESS PRINTING WITH AUTO EXPAND OVERVIEW
In order to achieve a true borderless print on roll media with minimal clipping with the Stylus Pro 4000 printer driver select the Auto Expand feature.
This is intended to be a quick solution to automatically expand your image width by 3% to produce a borderless print. Depending on the print size you choose some
clipping is normal. If clipping of the image is an issue you can try adjusting your image print size so when “Auto Expand” is selected minimal clipping occurs. This
document outlines the steps required to produce roll media prints with minimal clipping of the left and right edges of your image.
The examples in this document represent how you would create a borderless 8” X 10” print on Epson 10” roll media with the Auto Expand feature of the Epson driver.
The application used was Adobe PhotoShop CS, using Macintosh O/S 10.3.3 and Windows XP.
The table below details roll paper widths and the corresponding image width recommendations to print images with minimal clipping of the left and right
edges of your image when the Auto Expand driver feature is selected.
* Non Epson Roll media widths.

5.5.1 Give your user defined paper size a name, we will use
“10 X 8” for this example.
5.5.2 Give your user defined paper size a Width of 10” (1000
x .01) and a Height of 8” (800 x .01).
5.5.3 Click Save then OK.

5.6.1 For Paper Source select Roll Paper.
5.6.2 Check Select Borderless then select Auto Expand from

5.6.5 After all Paper selections are correct click on the Main
tab
5.6.6 On the Main screen do not select the “Print Preview”
option. If selected you will have a margin between
prints like the example shown under “CUTTING
OPTIONS” for Double Cut. This is due to the delay in
spooling the jobs to printer because of the preview.
As a result they are handled as if they were individual
print requests. To eliminate the margin between prints
when multiple jobs are spooling turn Off the Print Pre-
view driver option.
Selecting an incorrect cut option, will result
in an unnecessary margin before or after
the printed image.
